Motivating the Unmotivated in a Regular Classroom
Setting

Data Driven Implementation

• For the past three years, 5th grade students in
  the middle group (students who score average on
  assessments including EOG) have shown no growth.
  They do not qualify for EC or AIG. They remain
  stagnant continue to hover over the threshold.
  In the classroom, these students show complacency
  with just passing scores and are least likely to
  take on challenges, make improvements, or
  complete all assignments. These students are
  happy to just get by from day to day. On
  average, 30 of the students in the classroom
  have these characteristics. Because of this
  trend in data, the need for teachers to think
  outside the box to motivate these students is
  pertinent.
